Gordon Ramsay ranted at BBC Breakfast's Bill Turnbull during an interview this morning.

The celebrity chef was angered by Turnbull's questioning about the amount of time he has actually spent cooking in kitchens in recent years.

Ramsay defended his delegation of cookery duties, arguing that no-one expects fashion designer Giorgio Armani to make all his suits individually.

"When you go and spend £500 on an Armani suit and you are happy with it, you don't ask the lady at the desk whether it was Giorgio himself who stitched it," he said.

"I know the confidence I have in my team, in fact we have been together for over ten years - how can you propel talent if you don't expose them?"

When probed about whether it was possible to still buy a meal cooked by Ramsay, the Kitchen Nightmares star added: "You sound sad. I am 42 years of age. I have been at the stove for 21 years, I want a life outside my kitchen, sorry. Would you like me to polish your shoes Bill? Come on, get a life."

Ramsay was on the show to promote a new range of Seriously Good sauces, which will raise money for Comic Relief.
